Re: 12/10/2013 Game Thread #22: Pacers Vs. Heat

This team needs a good ball handler to run the offense. George Hill, Lance Stephenson, and Paul George do not have good handles. We will continue to be a high turnover team with those three initiating the offense.

He played good defense on Wade while the bench was on the court. When Lance should have had a turnover he was able to get the ball and score. He has done more good this game than bad. But you probably wouldn't realize that because you said you were done with him just because he missed a shot.

I don't consider a great play by Lewis, and a bs foul to be bad plays on Orlando.

I'd like to see the team use West in the high post to take more pressure off our ball handlers. He's a good passer, and he can either drop it down to Roy or take whoever he's guarding into his wheelhouse. Lance, Hill, and Paul are doing too much dribbling and are allowing the Heat to swarm and trap, quick short passes are better than going one on one in this game.

13 turnovers (many of which led to Miami layups), 5 missed free throws early, dropping rebounds left and right (Mahinmi) and 0-6 from 3pt range (all wide open to my recollection)...the fact that this is a 7 pt game is astonishing. Clean it up and this game is ours...let's go!

A lot of end of the world and Pacers are exposed as frauds talk here tonight. I saw a perfectly normal Pacers first half out there. Hopefully we'll see a normal Pacers second half as well. Our ability to adjust to adversity, in game, will determine a lot about how I feel about our future prospects this season. 2 quarters will not.

Re: 12/10/2013 Game Thread #22: Pacers Vs. Heat

Why did we stop feeding Roy? It's like after he got the early points, he din't get the ball at all in the post.

I don't get it either we had moments like that last year against them they have nobody at all that can do anything about Roy and yet we decided we're the best 3pt jump shooting team in the league. One thing i've noticed is we fall into the trap far too easily once someone makes a 3 pt shot against us we have to for whatever reason try to come down and match it on the other end instead of just punishing them inside for an easy basket.

Re: 12/10/2013 Game Thread #22: Pacers Vs. Heat

The Pacers really need two things to compete with the best. They need to learn how to pass the ball better. Also, Lance Stephenson needs to play better. We simply need his talent to deliver during games. If he's not getting there, we have to get Granger back on the court. While Granger will help a lot, only Lance's skills will make this team a lot better...good enough for a ring. But he's not showing enough.

Paul, George, and Lance need to play smarter. That is what it really comes down to, and usually when this team plays poorly it is because one or more of those players are playing stupid, usually Paul or Lance.
